What I'm looking for

I am seeking backend or full-stack roles in collaborative Agile teams where I can build scalable, secure microservice-based applications and continue technical growth.

I am a First-Class Computer Science graduate with strong expertise in backend and full-stack development, particularly using Java, Spring Boot, Spring Security, Spring AI, Docker, and microservices. I have completed intensive professional training and multiple internships where I built scalable, secure, and user-centered applications.

During internships at Upperlink Digital Solutions I contributed to microservice-based components, implemented secure authentication, and delivered full-stack projects while working in Agile/Scrum teams. I also collaborated with data analysts to incorporate data-driven features and participated in sprint planning, stand-ups, and code reviews.

I am committed to continuous learning and team collaboration, hold several relevant certifications, and have built real-world projects including a Service Network Platform with authentication, escrow flow, and commission logic. I seek opportunities to contribute backend and full-stack engineering skills to high-performing teams.
